With the wind from the SSE the hopeful sea watch didn't materialise. However, we did log over a hundred Scoter moving east although distant. The first Artic Skua of the spring picked up from OM at Poole Place was a nice, but still very disappointing being the second week of April.  With Sandwich Tern 35, 40 Med Gull and 11 Gannet all west, very little else occurred.  My first Whimbrel of the spring was a heard only record, 2 Great-crested Grebe offshore and singles of Swallow and Wheatear, brought an end to the proceedings.
